3. Clinton's awkward position

is that she has to bury the Sanders candidacy and ALL his platform reform issues and somehow "unite" the party. Obviously she is NOT comfortable enough to even try that, is not interested or really has no clue. A slight barrier is that her donors MIGHT assume she is suckering the leftees but that the delegates by now will certainly not be so easily convinced.

She has already lost in two ways. The strength and inevitability and unity of message has evaporated simply by Sanders' CURRENT showing. She is absolutely incapable of giving enough credit to the Sanders people to pull this off. Please show me I am wrong about this! If Sanders was to bow down now would she suddenly be gracious toward liberal policies and start erasing the snowballing negatives?

It will be interesting to see which party is stupid enough to come out divided in June- or both- possibly giving a third party a golden path for the first time in American history. Except for some unreasonable blind faith in amorphous Dems doing kumbaya I have heard nothing of sense regarding our true present state.
